It's so amazing<3 I miss Glee</3 But I wrote this chapter so it like exactly matches up with the song!! SO LOOK IT UP! IT SETS THE MOOD FOR THE CHAPTER!!! I WANT YOU ALLLLL TO FEEL THE EMOTIONS!))

NIALL'S POV

The boys and I sang the last note to our new single. The sound man replayed it. We looked at each other and shook our heads, "Not quite there yet." Liam said

I nodded, "I agree."

"Again from the top!" Louis called to the sound man. He nodded and pressed a button, making the music play again.

We ran through the song and then listened to the new version.

Harry let out an irritated groan, "Still not there!" he groaned

"We aren't going home until we get this done!" Louis commanded

"What time is it?" Harry whined

I looked at the clock, "Three in the morning." I stated

We all groaned, "We'll get it, boys." Liam said

Zayn got up, "I'm getting some tea, who wants some?"

We all put in our tea orders and he left the room to make them. My phone began to buzz in my pocket, I pulled it out and it was Beth again. I stepped out of the booth and I answered it, "Hey baby." I said

"Niall, why haven't you answered my calls?" she asked, her voice sounding weak and tired.

"I'm sorry, we've been really busy." It broke my heart to leave her there alone. But I knew I couldn't come home, "Bethy...Me and the lads are recording right now. Just a few more hours, hun, and I'll be right home. I promise."

"Please come home, Ni. I miss you. I haven't seen you hardly at all for the last two weeks. You've been constantly busy. I just feel so alone in the house." she said

"Beth, there's other people there. El, Dani, Angel, Hannah, all the maids." I said

"It just isn't home without you.." she said, her voice breaking. I heard a sniffle and a quiet sob. I felt like someone ripped out my heart and shattered it into millions of pieces. Being the reason for Beth's tears made me feel horrible.

"Niall, come on, let's start." Louis called from the sound booth.

"I have'ta." I said. All I got in response was more gentle crying. "Oh Beth." I said softly, "What can I do, baby?"

"Come home." she sobbed

A pain ripped through my chest and a tear caught in my eye, "I can't.." I said weakly. "I love you baby.." I said, hanging up the phone. I hoped she'd be okay at home, because I knew I wouldn't be home in a few hours. I knew how these things usually went; we'd be here all night.

The sound man came in, "Hey, you guys want to do a surprise performance at a club?" he asked, "Simon just text me and said there was a big party going on and you guys should show. It's live on TV."

"Tonight?!" Liam asked, "We don't have the band and even if we did, we haven't rehearsed!"

The man nodded, "Just sing covers or something. Niall can play guitar. You guys can run through something a few times."

I nodded, "Let's do it."

Louis turned his head, "Why is a party on TV?" he asked

The guy shrugged, "I guess it's important."
